Aren't you supposed to be crying.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 06:06 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm not quite crying, but "My Girls" is v. good. Panda Bear is definitely bringing something new to the band these days

This is screaming for a Studio remix

I think I might finally have passed through hating them for the greatness they rejected and loving them for the greatness they're embracing. Strawberry Jam still sucks but this is great!!!

Take You Down (I know, right?), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 14:55 (fifteen years ago) link

This is exactly what I wanted their new material to sound like, and I really liked Strawberry Jam.

Sort of like the best bits of "#1" and "Good Girl/Carrots" combined with... I dunno, um, Orbital's "Style" perhaps (provisional wacky reference until i think of something more suitable)?

When the steady handclaps come in toward the end... insanely beautiful.

We've entered 'boy who cried wolf' phase, in that I'm honestly not sure if Tim's contributing to Roxy's plot or not.

lol yeah there is nothing anyone can say to prove the my girls link is real. but is is! probably

t_g, Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link

I predicted to a couple of ILxors that this will prove to be Tim's favourite album of all time. Or since the Avalanches.

I had a funny time trying to explain the concept of "balearic" to the AC a few weeks ago.

Lafayette Lever hi wtf (ice cr?m), Tuesday, 9 December 2008 15:50 (fifteen years ago) link

I would be fine with the Studio remixing Animal Collective. In the same way that the Aphex Twin did most of his remixes.

"I predicted to a couple of ILxors that this will prove to be Tim's favourite album of all time. Or since the Avalanches."

Was there a competition? I couldn't rule out this happening at this stage, except that I like Discovery and The Present Lover more than Since I Left You (although by a little bit only; and yeah for the sake of the comparison The Avalanches works best).

I have listened to "My Girls" so many times today. In an odd way it reminds me of Booka Shade's "In White Rooms", everything building inexorably to a climax that could be remixed into infinity but instead finishes so quickly you have to go back to the beginning.

"I don't mean to seem like I care about material things like my SOCIAL STATS, I just want four walls and a door beside my girls!"

This is kind of India.Arie level earnest-didactic, except the vibe is nothing like that. I like how Panda Bear turns mundane good intentions into urgent truths gleaned through weed-induced revelation. Also "social stats" is kind of random in this line.

carne asada, Wednesday, 10 December 2008 20:22 (fifteen years ago) link

I just read this whole thread and am sad not that the leak is a joke but that the existence of someone who calls himself "The Web Sheriff" and is basically a professional blog commentor with a phone number is not one.
